the 2004 zo6 has a top speed of 180 mph compared to the older zo6 which had a top speed of 171. how is the nsx owned you ask , the nsx has a top speed of 175 and last time i checked does a14 second 1/4 compared to the 12 seconds of the zo6.
no im not trying to diss the nsx i love the car but it's in need of a v8/v10 and a price drop. i also have another question why did acura try to make the nsx look like it was a exotic yea it looks pimp but the perfromance is not cutting it.

so true a long time ago i posted a video of a viper doing some burnouts and everyone liked it and about 5 months ago i posted some pics of some guys viper that he modded very clean and ricers were like YUCK a domestic
it seems alot of ricers have joined the site but we still have alot of members who are not idiots and love cars in general.
Let's not forget NSX came out in 1992. Back in the days, it was really cheap too. And yes, it did spank the C4 Corvette at the time. With a 3.0L V6, might I add.
It's now 2003. Price has nearly trippled. Performance marginally increased.
NSX isn't a for sale car, really. Honda has no plans but to sell a handful per year.

They're different cars made for different purposes being pushed at different target audiences.
ummm NO both of these cars are in the same class and aimed for the same audiences

Originally posted by htowncivicEX I like all cars, whether domestic or import, but even I think a statement like "NSX is 0wned" is a little presumptuous.
Perhaps you should amend the thread's title to "NSX is 0wned in the 1/4 mile".
explain man both cars handle great and have high top speeds its just the zo6 is faster and bottom line a better car.

92 vette - 375 hp
92 nsx - 270 hp
so no it did not own the 92 vette in the twisties yes but even back then it was owned.
and now the c5 has world class handling that competes with the m3 and 911's
Slow down are we actually comparing a Corvette to an Acura
1st of all the NSX has always been considered "The 1st Japanese Exotic" with Emphasis on "Exotic"
The ZO6 Chevrolet Corvette (there now that did'nt hurt a bit) is a Classic American Muscle Car in all of it's forms. Let's see 1953 I believe?
The improvements made to the 'vette over the last few years truly do show hope for American Muscle Cars (New Mustangs are Kinda Funky) if you caught the Car & Driver where they drove quite a few impressive autos ( I can't remember it all off-hand, I'm sure we could find it). the Z06 trully did hand them ALL their asses!
I'm not going to explain. I'm just going to refer you to my comments in the PRIOR "NSX is too slow" thread that you created.
Honestly - this is like the umpteenth thread you've created that disses the NSX. I think we get the picture by now - you like the Z06 better than the NSX. lease:

i believe half of the sports cars currently available owns the nsx
the price for the care doesn't help either
it's honda's own fault of not improving the car over the 10 years of it's life, it WAS a good car, back when it was first introduced. now it's a "old man" compare to all the other cars. let's see what the new nsx replacment looks like...
i do hope the nsx price goes downa fter the new successor is released, because midship rocks!
ofcourse, in autox or drag, i have my money n the z06
Yeah, Honda should have kept improving the NSX. Though I do wonder how a track race between an NSX-R and Z06 wuold be. Both great cars.... but 1 is exotic. Z06 is definately a hot hot car for the price. However, there are a few things that should be looked upon, like the fact that the NSX is HAND BUILT! I'm sure some of you will feel "bah, whats that gotta do with speed", well I think it's a matter of respect.
